Further details on Unable to save php file in dreamweaver.

setting up a php site in dreamweaver.
I am taking a class in PHP. I am following instructions to set up my work environment in Dreamweaver. I am using an Imac, dual core, running snow leopard, and have loaded xampp onto my machine. Dreamweaver version CS3.
Class instructions say to set up my local site with following path: Applications/xampp/htdocs. My DW wants me to use : instead of /, so when I set up the local site, this is what my path looks like. Macintosh HD:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:
When I try to save my first page, as a .php, I get the following error message: Access to MacintoshHD:applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:hello.php was denied. I get this error message on both of my macs, so it is a problem in my path, not individual to my machine.
There is something wrong with my path, but I don't know what it is. I cannot create path with / instead of :, DW won't allow it. I tried creating a path exactly as instructed in the lesson, but that did not help. I don't know what I am missing because I am just starting so I don't know what to look for. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance....

You should setup the built-in php instead of xampp on Snow Leopard. Look here for more info

Then when you setup your local site use HD_Name:Users:User_Account_Name:Sites:Website_Folder:

  • SpaceFM Error - Error: Unable to save session file. Permission denied

    Hi.
    I have just installed linux-rt from AUR
    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51360
    Everything installed correctly and is working so far.
    It's just that whenever I'm with a folder open (even if I dont do anything) and click the X to close the window, this error appears:
    SpaceFM Error
    Error: Unable to save session file.
    Do you want to exit without saving?
    ( Permission denied )
    I usually click yes and nothing happens - or seems to.
    If it helps, I AM able to read, write, copy and delete files.
    The problem ( I THINK ) seems to be just aesthetics AND/OR not affecting me at the moment?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: In fact LOTS of issues just showed up...
    1- Transmission doesn't resume downloads.
    I closed it and opened again and there were no downloads and when I tried to start them again, there was an error saying: Unable to save resume file (or something close)
    2- I just logged in (at the login screen, lol) as root and ALL problems disappeared, transmission saves things again, no more SpaceFM error etc.
    Anyone has any clues what is this permissions problem ?? The whole OS is new and I didn't install anything, it wasn't supposed to be happening.

    Just stumbled on this, dunno about your other problems, but as far as your spacefm problem, go to ~/.config and sudo rm -r spacefm

  • Unable to save indt files at all

    Hi, I've looked through the forums but haven't found a solution that's worked or the quite the same problem as I have, so here it goes:
    I have InDesign CS6 version 8.0.1 with Windows 7 64-bit however I have been unable to save .indt files sent to me from a couple different sources.
    When opening the file I also get the warning message saying I'm missing the "LILO.InDesignPlugin" but the template still seems to open no problem.
    However, when I click 'Save', 'Save As', or even 'Save a Copy' nothing happens. None of them are greyed out, but no window pops-up for me to save the file, even if I make changes.
    I tried exporting the file as anything else but nothing works--I get the "Failed to export the PDF file" message every time.
    Any thoughts on how to resolve this?
    Thanks for the help!

    When opening the file I also get the warning message saying I'm missing the "LILO.InDesignPlugin" but the template still seems to open no problem.
    Your InDesign installation is clearly corrupt. Uninstall and reinstall.
    It may be sufficient to rerun the installation without uninstalling, but it might not.

  • Help!! - "The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."

    New OJ6830, latest HP software installed on Win7 64 bit.
    HP Scan scans and displays the scanned pages.  But, when I try to save the file as a pdf or tiff, I get the following error message:
    "The HP Scan Application was unable to save the file to the specified location."
    BTW, I have tried running the app as Administrator and have disabled my antivirus software.
    Why won't the HP scan app save the file?  Has anyone else seen this error message?
    Is there anything else I can do, or this this just a major bug in HP scan software?

    Mike,
    One Idea:
    Make sure you have "San Preview" checked else the software will not accept "specified location".
    Reference:
    Save Scan to Specified Location

  • "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location. "

    I can copy and print from my computer but when I try to save the scan I get an error message saying the HP app was unable to save the file to the specified location. I reloaded the cd and that did not help.

    Hello jerlip,  Welcome to the HP Forums.  I see that you are having an issue when attempting to save a scan. I suggest that we try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If you see any error codes or messages, please let me know what they are. Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to research other options if needed.  Cheers,  

  • PHP files in Dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone has been unable to open php files.
    When I try to open them Dreamweaver freezes. I have reinstalled CS3
    and deleted all of the local files and downloaded them all over
    again from the remote site but nothing seems to fix the
    problem.

    Excellent! I was wondering how to solve that since it was
    happening to
    me as well, i was even working on notepad++ in those files
    with PHP and
    just saw this thread.
    Thank you so much for your answer Alan that definitively
    solve the
    problem so back to DWCS3 again :)

  • Using PHP files in Dreamweaver?

    When I create a new PHP file in Dreamweaver the code is the same as an HTML file, shouldn't be different? with php commands or something?
    Thanks

    When I create a new PHP file in Dreamweaver the code is the same as an HTML file, shouldn't be different? with php commands or something?
    Not unless you add them.  PHP is a server-side programming language.  PHP web pages are no different than HTML pages except that they can parse data on the server.  With the right include statements or commands, PHP or ASP pages can publish information from server-side databases to form a dynamically driven web site.

  • Unable to view PHP files

    I am using Dreamweaver MX version 7.0. I have several PHP
    files that I am unable to see the text contained in the files. I
    have a friend that is able to view them just fine in Dreamweaver
    8.0. Funny thing is that one PHP page that I opened was entirely
    visible, but the other files I have a problem with. I can see some
    graphics, not all, and the PHP code that calls a menu system, and
    the menu graphics,althought they are not positioned as they should
    be. But no text on the page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to save php files w/out testing server?

    Don't shoot me, I'm totally not a techie. I know HTML pretty
    well, but not php. But I did take over maintenance of a site built
    with php. I use DW MX and never installed php. The site doesn't do
    anything dynamic, but it does use includes. This is all fine, but
    here's the problem:
    My client bought DW8 and is now taking over maintenance
    himself. He's less techie than I am, by the way, but he has used
    DW4 without problems. So he's trying to play around with the site,
    creating a new file and saving it with his DW8. But he gets an
    error message saying that he's supposed to define a testing server.
    I told him to go into the edit sites section and specify "none" for
    server model and access (that's how I have it set up with my DW
    MX). He said he tried that and it still won't let him save his
    files.
    So is there some way to tell Dreamweaver that even though
    he's using a .php extension, the files don't need to be tested
    locally? I'm having a tough time helping him with a product I don't
    even have.
    Thanks.

    Have him IGNORE the error message by clicking NO.

  • Unable to save PDF files (sometimes?)

    Hi All,
    There are times when I'm working with Elements 6.0 that everything is working normally. I can play and adjust and save files to my little hearts desire. There are other times when I'll open a file, make my adjustments, save the file and when I go back to look at the saved file, there is no preview and I am unable to open it. The properties says it is not a PFD, just "1 File". Any clues as to why I am having this intermittent problem would be most appreciated. The picture you see here is from a file that Elements 6.0 says it does not recognize and there is no preview. But yet I can select it and preview it here. HELP!!!!
    See attached....
    Thank you

  • Cannot save a php file in dreamweaver:access denied

    I am taking a course in PHP. I am using the environment download XAMPP, and working directly in dreamweaver. My very first project is the traditional Hello World script, a simple echo command... When I go to save the file, Dreamweaver gives me an error message :"Access to Macintosh:Applications:XAMPP:htdocs:Hello.php  was denied."  No other file name works, even saving a simple page with nothing but premade code on it works... I am stuck and stumped.

    Hello Allen.
    I don't think Firefox supports the vCard format by default... But you may want to try this extension, as I think it's what you want:

  • As of today I am unable to save PDF files that are attachments of emails.  Can you help?

    The save as button is grey & unable to save any PDF file.  This problem began today so can this be changed?

    Tech support visits occasionally but for the most part it's just us fellow users.
    In order to use just "save", you would have to make some changes to the pdf to be saved. If you have made no changes, can you use "Save as"?
    Are these files being opened in Reader directly or are you opening them in a web browser using the Reader plug-in? What version of Reader?

  • Unable to save .msg files even file screening has been uninstalled from server

    Hi,
    Did you create a file screening policy on the drive to prevent you from saving .msg or specified files? Can you save these files on other drives? 
    If the issue only occurred on the specified drive, please check the state of the drive and repair it if necessary.
